Do you want to know if there are harmful substances in the air of your living room, or are you worried about stench or noise pollution? Then the trade fair gadget from WoTS 2024 will certainly appeal to you. The Environmental Monitor monitors the temperature, humidity, noise and particulate matter in the environment. We asked co-inventor Andries Lohmeijer of KITT Engineering how the idea for the gadget came about.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea came about during a brainstorming session with all the gadget participants,\u201d Lohmeijer begins. \u201cWe wanted to develop a device that would really be useful to people. When someone suggested the idea of monitoring environmental influences, everyone was immediately enthusiastic. Fine dust is a much-discussed and current topic that is often in the news. And noise pollution is the number one public irritation, closely followed by stench nuisance. So the gadget is not only 'fun' but also useful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Leading the way
\n<\/strong>Lohmeijer and his colleagues at KITT Engineering took the lead in designing the monitor and developing the basic software from the start. \u201cThe trick is to go from a \u2018nice idea\u2019 to a physical product that people are happy with and that can be produced in a short time,\u201d Lohmeijer explains. \u201cThat is a challenging process. The first step is to determine the technical specifications. Only then can you start thinking about the design and the housing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The success of the gadget depends on the quality of the sensors, Lohmeijer explains. \u201cThey have to be sensitive enough to pick up the desired environmental signals and filter out unwanted influences. At the same time, the costs must not get out of hand; after all, we are giving the gadget away for free at the trade fair. That is why we ultimately decided to offer the particulate matter option for a fee.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
